Hellobee Boards

I haven't had one, but to me it sounds like they're really jumping the gun with this invasive test. I hope you're not paying out of pocket for anything? #1 should always be hormone testing (cd3 and 7dpo), especially since you're having trouble O'ing on your own. Most women can get pregnant once their hormones are in check.

In the US, I think its pretty uncommon to have any sort of physical test (ultrasound, HSG, etc.) until trying for a year at least, unless there is a specific cause for concern earlier.

But I think you're knocked up and wont get there anyway

@pui: I agree with @Mrs.Someone; I think you're probably already pregnant and don't need any testing! But I also agree that of all the testing they could do, an endometrial scratch test comes last and is only done if they've done every other test and they find something that indicates a reason to suspect something is wrong with your lining. IIRC @TheSwissWifeStyle was going to have this done?

@pui: I was given the "list" of tests as well including this one....once they do the hormone blood tests, and u/s and HSG if all looks clear and they don't see any signs of Endometriosis you should not have to do this procedure... I'm only talking from my experience.

Me and DH first had to get blood tests up the wazooo.....lol
Then I had an exam including a pap, then I had u/s day 3 u/s and blood day day 12 and again day 21....

Inbetween I had an HSG....that cam back fine

@LindsayInNY: Back in April I went to a new RE for a consult and he was like "why don't you come back in a week for a beta?" and I said "for what!?" and he said "because you could be pregnant" and I laughed so hard. But I was! (Later had a m/c but that's beside the point) But the nurses there say it happens all the time that patients come in pregnant and don't know it!
